Our work continued through the COVID-19 pandemic to address racial reckonings and provide space to cope with impacts associated with patient activation and the social determinants of health.</p> <p>In 2021, UC Davis Health joined national campuses to adopt the Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT) Center Framework through the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and the Association of American Colleges and Universities. The TRHT Center at UC Davis Health is grounded in relationship building, collective community health, a transdisciplinary approach to healing, and truth-telling that seeks liberatory practices for all patients, faculty, staff, students, and community members. These principles provide an anchor point to strive towards transformative means for health equity and a beloved society.</p> <figure class="image"><img src="/media-resources/diversity-inclusion/images/TRHT-Framework-Graphic-index.jpg" alt="local coalitions addressing segregation, concentrated poverty, civil and criminal policies, structured inequality and barriers to opportunities to foster narrative change, truth telling, and racial healing through trust and relationship building." /> <figcaption><a href="https://healourcommunities.org/">The Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Framework</a></figcaption> </figure></div> </div> <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane fade" id="tab_2-tabbed-content-diversity-inclusion-trht-main-multiple-tab-content" aria-labelledby="tab_2-tab-tabbed-content-diversity-inclusion-trht-main-multiple-tab-content"> <div class="tab-text article-body basic-content"><p>Our vision is a world where racial healing and transformation are not just ideals but everyday realities. We envision a society where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their racial or ethnic background, and where the legacy of racial injustice is acknowledged and rectified. To achieve this vision, we offer opportunities, events and initiatives that draw us closer to a world that dismantles the hierarchy of human value.</p> <h3>Our Programming</h3> <p><strong>Restorative Healing Practices:</strong> Through our healing circles, we offer a space for individuals and community members to heal from the wounds of racial trauma. Each circle is facilitated in collaboration by our TRHT staff and volunteers to provide a restorative space for processing, reconciliation and healing. <span>Fill out the </span><a href="https://health.ucdavis.edu/diversity-inclusion/forms/feedback-form.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Collaborate With Us</a><span> form to learn more about how you can host a healing circle or advance internal diversity training and education at UC Davis Health.</span></p> <p><strong>Education and Training: </strong>Our core mission at an academic institution is educating and training throughout the institution and with our community. Our many workshops, seminars, and online courses empower individuals and organizations to confront bias, discrimination, and prejudice. In conjunction, we also provide circle keeper training to support facilitation and the life-long learning process for continually being in relation with cultures and communities, supporting the mission of the center.
